I asked myself this today and the answer was immediately clear. In short, yes! In fact, it does it brilliantly! A hugely significant element of the spiritual journey can be summed up by this simple maxim... "The ego is a wonderful servant but a terrible master" The Game, gamifying life the way some of us are doing here, does exactly that. We 'use' the ego to play a fun game instead of being used by it. And couldn't it be that life is a spiritual quest? That's my perspective. Have any others in here on a spiritual journey thought about this?

6 seconds in, 6 seconds out. A nice cadence breath to bring the system back down into balance. Hours behind the desk, to-do list chained to the next to-do list. As business leaders we are under the pump more often than not. As leaders, we must also take care of our personal wellbeing. And introducing the breath into our entrepreneurial endeavours is a SUPERPOWER and has the potential to re-create how you see yourself as a player of the game! A 4-7-8 breath is also fantastic, a guided 478 breathe is linked to this post. This is your challenge for the day. A POWER UP for your day. Is your day succeeded if you leave these 5 minutes on the table?! Something NEW that you haven't yet tried, and could just be the something that your thinking about again and again for days, and nights to come! Guide yourself below, or listen to the guided breath video. Enjoy! (Nasal breath in, Nasal breath out, light - medium light intensity.) - Prepare yourself to begin - Starting in 5 seconds with the first inhale in through the nose 5,4,3,2,1 - In 2,3,4, 5, 6 out 2,3,4,5,6 - (Pause for one second) - In 2,3,4 5, 6 out 2,3,4,5,6 - (Pause for one second) - In 2,3,4 5, 6 out 2,3,4,5,6 - (Pause for one second) - In 2,3,4 5, 6 out 2,3,4,5,6 Continue breathing like this for the next couple of minutes Breathing in for a count of six seconds and breathing out for a count of six seconds, pause for one second at the bottom of the exhalation. As you breathe in, feel your ribs moving outward, and as you breathe out, feel your ribs moving inward REPEAT for 4-5 minutes Go for gold players! GOLD 🥇

My quest overall is to achieve financial freedom and live a greater form of life. But just saying that is vague. So here’s what I’m actually doing right now to get there: I’m on a quest to book my first 5 discovery calls helping people optimize their YT channels to generate more leads for their business. So far, I’ve connected with some amazing people, hopped on calls, and picked up lessons I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. My priority for the next week is simple: - Keep engaging in the communities I'm in - Build true connections - Get on more calls and continue learning through action Alongside this, I’m documenting the entire journey of going from my dorm room to achieving financial freedom at 18. If you’ve done anything like what I mentioned above, please drop your tips (I need them lol). And if you’re working on something similar, feel free to reach out, I’d love to connect.

Here’s what I’ve seen across clients and my own experience:🚨 Most people don’t leave because of price or lack of value.They leave because they stop feeling engaged. Even a great offer won’t hold attention forever without intentional experience design. And that’s where gamification makes all the difference. I just posted a video where I break down: 🎯 Why traditional loyalty programs often fail 💸 How churn eats into growth more than most realize 🕹️ How gamification can increase long-term engagement 🎮 And how LinkedIn increased profile completion by 50% with one simple gamified element These same principles have helped me (and my clients) increase retention and customer lifetime value significantly. 🎥 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄📘 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗯 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲: 3 Gamification Hacks to Boost Retention 👇 What’s one thing that’s actually helped you keep people engaged—or something that totally flopped?Let’s swap ideas and save each other some headaches.
